Knappett, Jonatha,
Craig's soil mechanics / Soil mechanics J. A. Knappett and R. F. Craig. - Eighth ediiton. - xxv, 552 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm.
Previous ed. under : Soil mechanics / R.F. Craig.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Part 1: Development of a mechanical model for soil. Basic characteristics of soils -- Seepage -- Effective stress -- Consolidation -- Soil behaviour in shear -- Ground investigation -- In-situ testing -- Part 2: Applications in geotechnical engineering. Shallow foundations -- Deep foundations -- Advanced foundation topics -- Retaining structures -- Stability of self-supporting soil masses -- Illustrative cases.
Now in its eighth edition, this text continues to blend clarity of explanation with depth of coverage to present students with the fundamental principles of soil mechanics. From the foundations of the subject through to its application in practice, the book provides an indispensable companion to undergraduate courses.
